Bartlett, Tennessee - Blackwell House It is reported that no family has been able to live in this exquisite home for more than a month or so. A man has been seen walking through the house at night dressed in his Sunday best. A family who once lived there reportedly woke up one night to find that a lamp on a night stand had been turned on. They turned it off, but an hour later, they woke up again to find this lamp turned on again. This time, they unplugged it. A little while later, they saw the bulb glowing again, but the lamp was still unplugged. Suddenly, the bulb exploded into flames. The next day, someone told them that Mr. Blackwell never allowed his children to sleep in the dark. Radisson Read House Hotel The Radisson Read House Hotel is a Historic Hotel of America and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Winston Churchill, Andrew Johnson, Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope and numerous other political dignitaries and entertainers have stayed at the hotel because of its charm and elaborate antebellum architecture and decor. The hotel has ten unique floors all honoring a different battle of the Civil War. Built in 1927, the hotel has retained its period architecture and has been beautifully restored to its original details. Room 311 is said to be haunted by the spirit of a prostitute murdered in the room by a Civil War soldier. The hotel burned down in 1867, but apparently the ghost returned to the same room after it was rebuilt. Franklin, Tennessee - Carnton Mansion, 1345 Carnton Lane After the battle of Franklin on November 30, 1864, five injured Confederate generals were laid on the front porch of this old mansion where they subsequently died. The apparition of Caroline Winder McGavock, who comforted the soldiers before they died, has since been spotted at various places in and around the house. There have also been reports of one of the generals riding a horse through the fields of the mansion. Carter House in Tennessee, 1140 Columbia Avenue Both the history and the hauntings of the battlefield are bloody and frightening and especially sad, as strange stories mark this holiday season battle from the Civil War. Kingsport, Tennessee - Rotherwood Mansion Rotherwood Mansion is said to be haunted by a young woman, who died in the river that runs beside the mansion. Her father, a wealthy land owner, disapproved of her romance with a soldier and forbade them ever to see each other. However, one night before going to war, the young soldier came to see his lover. The woman's brother found them, fought the young soldier and threw him in the river. The soldier was then swept away with the current. Heartbroken, his sweetheart threw herself into the river to find her beau, but she drowned trying. Now it is said that she can be seen walking along the river in a long white dress at night carrying a lantern and looking for her lost love. Medina, Tennessee - The Dollhouse, Hope Hill Cemetery Legend is that after being raped and beaten to death by her uncle, a young girl was buried in this cemetery. Family members built a dollhouse over the grave which is maintained to this day. After dark, local witnesses have reported seeing the girl inside the dollhouse playing and talking with her dolls. Memphis, Tennessee - Libertyland, 940 Early Maxwell Boulevard This ghost story involves a very kind man who once operated the carousel in this park. When a child's balloon flew into the carousel one day, the man offered to retrieve it, but reportedly fell into the mechanism and was decapitated. It is said the man now roams around the amusement park occasionally making his presence known. Orpheum Theater, 203 South Main Street According to theater legends, this grand building is haunted by the ghost of a small girl known as "Mary". She was reportedly struck and killed by a streetcar on Beale Street and somehow her spirit found refuge in the nearby Orpheum Theater. Overton Park Lake in Tennessee, 1928 Poplar Avenue In the late 1960's, the body of a woman dressed in a blue dress was found in a shallow lake in this park. She had been raped and stabbed. A woman in a blue dress has reportedly been spotted walking along the south side of the lake. She reaches out her arm as if looking for help, but if anyone approaches her, she vanishes. Woodruff-Fontaine House Molly Woodruff reportedly still haunts her bedroom now known as the "Rose Room". She is seen wandering through the house and frequently leaves impressions in bed covers. Once she appeared at the museum on opening day to let a docent know they had set the bed in the wrong spot. On the third floor of the mansion, many witnesses report smelling cigar smoke from a yet unidentified visitor. Murfreesboro - Stones River National Battlefield Both the history and the hauntings of the battlefield are bloody and frightening and especially sad, as strange stories mark this holiday season battle from the Civil War. Paris, Tennessee - Dumpling Hill Cemetery The ghost of a slave hanged for a petty crime is often seen and heard at this cemetery attempting to chase away any visitors.
